    Wanted to say that CitriStrip works very well actually! Some people on Reddit said they used it so I gave it a shot and sure enough it worked very well. Along with a little scraping and sanding, I was able to get the frame to bare metal in one day.

    Hi about how long do you leave the paint stripper on the bike frame?

    • @acebikemedia
      @acebikemedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The specific paint stripper that I used only needs to be on a few minutes between coats. I left each coat on for about 10-15 minutes

    • @colonelsanders9637
      @colonelsanders9637 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Its a bit late but i dont see why it wouldn’t work on Ti. Ti is extremely unreactive so it wont damage the metal, and the paint will likely be made of similar stuff to what youd find on a steel frame.
      Its a bit ridiculous to paint a Ti frame anyway, you need to see raw metal to appreciate it fully

      The frameset has some rusted areas. I'm wondering which one I should do first; strip all of the paint, then an Oxalic bath. Or Oxalic bath remove the rust, then strip the paint?

    • @acebikemedia
      @acebikemedia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hmm that's interesting. I'm not sure, my work has an account through them so we usually get product very quickly. Not sure why yours would still be pending. Hopefully it goes through asap. And I'm sure it doesn't matter which you do first but I'd probably strip the paint first. I don't have a specific reason why but that's what my gut says.

    I have a new dirt bike coming, it has
    factory Black rims which I find disgusting.
    If I strip the paint off, will the rims look like
    the old-school polished alum, or look like
    crap because they had to sand them
    so they could get the paint to adhere?

    • @acebikemedia
      @acebikemedia  ปีที่แล้ว

      They painted aluminum moto rims? Not anodize? I'd say if it was painted and they sanded it you will get it down to the sanded surface. But you could get the factory alum look back with a bit of polishing. I use to use scotch Brite pads on my dirt bikes aluminum and it polishes really well

      Thats how it seems to be everywhere, but here in the US you can still get the good stuff through industrial supply stores and auto body shops. That might be the case in the UK. That stuff they sell on the shelves at stores is legit worthlessness
